Issue on Optical Wireless Communications (OWC)
Optical wireless is
an attractive medium as an alternative to optical fiber communications, and also to RF,
because of its high bandwidth and relative ease of use, especially when it comes to
deployment in new physical situations. We describe an optical wireless link approach
that offers a performance that gives analog transmission with significantly reduced
distortion levels and enhanced reception sensitivity by combining a novel hybrid
detector-amplifier technique. Reduction of distortion by 40 dB and improvement in
sensitivity of 20-30 dB is possible, using the techniques described.
